Bill,
If it's asking for an element number, it most likely thinks your 8mm is in
the 3575lib. To tell the truth, that's what it looks like from your DEFINE
DRIVE command, also. Is this the case? If it is, you'll need to find the
element number corresponding to the physical location in your drive. You
can find element numbers at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/A54O1003/C.0
If your 8mm is not in the library (mine isn't, it's in the rack), you'll
need to DEFINE LIBRARY and create a manual library. Here's an example from
the TSM 3.7 Admin Guide, page 53. Of course, this assumes the drive is
already Available to AIX. Er... Or whatever OS you're using.
define library manual8mm libtype=manual
define drive manual8mm drive01 device=/dev/mt1
define drive manual8mm drive02 device=/dev/mt2
Good luck,

Subject: Define Drive
We are currently using our only 3575 as our ADSM data base backup.
I would like to move that to our 8 mm drive so I entered:
define drive 3575lib eightmm device=/dev/rmt0
Just as show in the book, but an error comes back and says I need to add the
element. So I tried this:
define drive 3575lib eightmm device=/dev/rmt0 element=10-60-00-5,0
and since I'm here, it didn't like that either. What is the proper format?
Thanks
